Anyway, the people who submitted were X-Man(4) and Ian ``The Word Guy'' Facey with nine correct answers! You can pick up your prize in the MathSoc office.

And now for the Squiz!

Song Lyrics

1. The good people of the world are washing their cars
   On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing
   As best they can in skirts and suits.
2. Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds
   With their highly original sound.
   The pianos they played are still working,
   But they're both six feet underground.
3. Crazy as the people walking through my head.
   One of them's got a gun
   To shoot the other one.
4. Jack Flash, Rocket Man.
   Sergeant Pepper and the band.
   Ziggy, Benny, and the Jets.
   Ah, take a rocket.
   We just gotta fly.
5. She sits alone by a lampost
   Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind
   She says, ``Dad's the one I love the most,
   But Stipe's not far behind.''
